These demonic atrocities have been seen in many regions of Sanctuary and within the Western Kingdoms. These mutations of Evil are half man, half goat and signify the foulest form of Hell’s will. Once confined to only the darkest labyrinths, they now venture out into the wilderness, ever closer to the encampments of man. Walking upright as men, with heads of horned goats, they tread upon cloven hooves and are skilled with weapons of war. They are cunning, working together to form organized clans that accomplish the desires of their devilish commanders. Their strength is immense and some of the more powerful clans are rumored to guard the lairs of Hell’s more renowned demons.

Melee attackers armed with a variety of axes and larger polearms, goatmen run fast, swing slow, don't hit particularly hard. These guys are a favorite of many players, due to their grunting, bleating death sound effects. As is true of most melee attackers, they can be dangerous in packs, but aren't much trouble one on one.

The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.

Blocking values are assigned to every monster in the game, but the ability is seldom enabled, so most monsters can not block (Hence the blocking % given on most Diablo II monster pages, including Blizzard's, is inaccurate.) When enabled, blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.

Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.

Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.
